“يجب الحذر والحيطة من عدو أحمق وغد، أما إذا كان عدوك رجلاً شريفاً من بيت كريم فاخضع له، إذ أن خضوعك قد يلين قلبه.”
― Euripides, Herakles

“I think we should keep an open mind because I’ve always believed the world is full of things we can’t explain.”
― C. Toni Graham, Crossroads and the Himalayan Crystals

“We proceeded to make way across the mighty Hooghly River, a monstrous offshoot of the Ganges, where we contemplated for a moment, our thoughts seemingly caught in the roaring southward current; there we gazed, toward where the city transitions into mangrove jungle, and somewhere a bit further to the southwest where all the rivers split infinitely like capillaries, where those famous Bengal tigers trod among the sunderbans. Peering in that direction, Bajju gripped the vertical bars just above the horizontal pedestrian railing, breathing slowly and silently, knees locked, still, despite being on arguably the busiest and loudest bridge in the world.”
― Colin Phelan, The Local School

“Every night I dream a lot. Every day I live a little.”
― Max Nowaz, Get Rich or Get Lucky
